Singapore, 10 November 2000 - Asia's leading music lifestyle network, Vivamusic.com, today announced its partnership with 2skymall.com to provide its online customers with more delivery and payment alternatives. 2skymall.com is an online shopping mall which leverages on the advantages of both online and offline platforms to provide consumers and businesses with more options when purchasing online.
Vivamusic.com's merchandise like CDs are already available on the 2skymall.com website at www.2skymall.com. 2skymall.com is a Cyber Mall that uses Esso and Mobil service stations and Cheers stores as collection centres. The collaboration with 2skymall.com also allows the buyer to choose to pay at the point of collection, if he/she prefers not to pay online.
“We don't believe in doing things halfway. In order to provide a total online shopping experience, we have explored all angles to make buying online a hassle free one,” said Mark Lai, CEO of Vivamusic.com. “Customers are given many options - how they want their music, how they prefer to pay, and how they want their goods delivered.”
Payment and delivery are two crucial ingredients to online shopping. As online payment is often the deterring factor of online shoppers, Vivamusic.com's customers are given a few payment alternatives. They can choose to pay online with their credit cards or use 2skymall.com's cash-on-delivery payment system.
“We are delighted with our partnership with Vivamusic.com. This will benefit our users as they can now purchase a wide range of music products online in addition to the range of products and services that we already offer,” said Mr William Wong, 2skymall.com's Managing Director. ׀skymall.com is constantly reviewing and enhancing its product and service options for consumers and this partnership with Vivamusic.com is a reflection of that.”
This partnership is in line with Vivamusic.com's continued efforts to provide a complete online shopping experience for its customers. Earlier this month Vivamusic.com website underwent a revamp. Visitors to the site will experience a music site very different from the last. The current new look is more user friendly. The features are arranged to make it easier for visitors to view, with the latest stories and interviews readily accessible.
